How to Get Ample Lighting in Your Home

Can you imagine a world without light?

Texture, pattern, and color would perish. Lighting is also what brings ambiance to a space and sets its mood. The amount of lighting should directly correlate with how a space will be used (think offices with bright light versus living rooms with accent lighting).

When lighting is used properly, it can enhance the warmth of a space but also add significant function. Plus, layering light is so crucial in interior design since it helps beautify a space.

MAJOR TIP: When possible, avoid using just one ceiling fixture as the only source of light in a room.

Instead, try adding a variation of light sources including floor lamps, wall sconces and table lamps. Below are 3 types of lighting, their function and how you can use them in your interior design projects.
